Rites of Spring + SPEAR
Apr. 14, 2014—I’d like to extol a particular student organization active on Vanderbilt’s campus, Students Promoting Environmental Awareness and Responsibility––SPEAR for short. Since last semester, I have been one of those flighty, practically invisible club members who signs up for the listserv, attends two meetings total, and then goes to various and sundry events as she pleases,...
Its Spring Time
Apr. 14, 2014—There is only one proper way to know if it truly is Spring time and it doesn't involve staring at a Grounhog to know when its time. No, there's a much better way. Spring Football. Obviously, if there is an event called SPRING football, it must signify that it is Spring time. This past weekend, we officially started Spring.
There’s No Place Like Nashville
Apr. 14, 2014—As if you need more incentive to come visit Vanderbilt and Nashville, here it is. A run-down of my last four days that have made me fall even more in love with Nashville.
Editors Note: Take Two
Apr. 14, 2014—So my first editor’s note came when I found out I would be co-editor in chief of Inside ‘Dores with Ann next year, but with newspaper content editor applications submitted and evaluated, I have a new editorial position to add to the list! Next year I’ll be serving as The Hustler’s Life Editor, and after two years...
My Commons Seminar: How a One-Hour Course Changed My Life
Apr. 13, 2014—An overview of Commons Seminars and my fabulous experience in one this spring.
Cheers from Chattanooga
Apr. 11, 2014—My friend A., who lives in Atlanta, didn't want to drive four hours to Nashville and I didn't want to bus it four hours to Atlanta, so we chose a halfway point: ChatChat, as I fondly call it.
For the Love of Science
Apr. 10, 2014—Vanderbilt Student Volunteers for Science is an organization that helps spread the love of science to elementary and middle school students in the larger Nashville community. While this initially looks like a philanthropic opportunity for science geeks, fear not! All you need to have is the willingness to serve younger students--the science stuff comes straight from the manual.
A little bit of France, A little bit of Pictionary
Apr. 10, 2014—My French professor hosted a dinner at her house! Pictionary was played. Hilarity ensued.
It’s the 30 Day Countdown…
Apr. 9, 2014—Right. 30 days until Commencement. I honestly cannot fathom how it's time for that already.
Weekend Paddling Trip with WilSkills
Apr. 8, 2014—Oh, WilSkills, it’s been too long. My last trip with this fantastic student organization was before spring break––rock climbing. This past weekend, a group of students drove three and a half hours to Ellijay, Georgia for the “Cartecay River Experience.” At midnight we spread our sleeping bags on the group and fell asleep gazing at...
